[Opinions] Strelitzia
WDYT? It's my favorite flower name. (It comes from the scientific name for the Bird of Paradise flower)I first heard it used in Kingdom Hearts Union X and I'm absolutely obsessed. I think it could work in real life, since it's not to awful hard to spell, "Strel" or "Zi(a)" could be nicknames, and after all it *is* a flower, and flower names are quite popular.

It's also one of my favourite flower names (in fact, I submitted it!), but it's definitely unusable in real life, due to pronunciation and spelling. Only suitable in fiction.

They grow wild where I live, usually known as crane flowers, and they are very dramatic. As a human name, since it is already a plant named after either the bearer of the surname Strelitz or someone who came from Strelitz the place, I find it too far removed from fn reality. Granted, it's better than Crane!

Not gonna lie, the word sterilization was the first thing that sprung to mind. It also just looks clunky and strange, so no thanks.
